PLEASE HELP WITH THIS QUESTION, ONLY CORRECT ANSWERS WOULD BE UPVOTED

(a)
In a MIPS based processor's memory hierarchy system, memory allocation is
divided into stack, data and text segment. Answer the following.
(1)
(ii)
Describe the TWO (2) types of data segments and indicate the object
that is held in each of these segments.
Explain the purposes of using the stack segment.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Please refer below for your reference:

a) The two types of data segments are follows:

Data Segment :

Data Segment is the permanent memory segment.Generally, all the static and external variables or objects are stored in the data segment.Also, the objects or variables which are stored in the data Segment get destroyed when program ends.

Heap Segment:

Generally the memory allocation in C is done by the functions like malloc() and calloc() which are used to allocate the memory dynamically. The heap Segment is used to store the data structures which are created by using dynamic memory allocation concept.
